A machine by Travers MacMaster
HarmanoAnimated Harmonograph Art Generator
Harmano is an animated harmonograph art generator for creating pendulum-inspired mathematical drawings, evolving line patterns and geometric generative art.
How the process works
Four damped sine pendulums drive a resolution-independent drawing trajectory. Frequency, phase, amplitude and damping shape the motion while the on-screen mechanism reflects the same oscillator values.
Inputs and source material
Start from a frequency relationship or preset, then tune the four oscillators and drawing controls directly.
Save and export
Commit drawings into layers, save the project and export the finished composition as genuine vector SVG or transparent-capable PNG.
- 01Choose a frequency relationship or adjust the oscillators directly.
- 02Run the drawing and change phase, damping and pen settings to shape the curve.
- 03Commit drawings to layers, choose the canvas size and export the composition as SVG or PNG.
